[QUOTE="Sykes, post: 1041759, member: 77814"] Hey everybody, Curious on your thoughts of bullet choice for the 300 wsm for bull elk out to 500 yards max for now. I'm shooting a Rem 700 cdl sf 24" barrel. I've worked up two loads that shoot very well 180 Barnes tssx with 69.2 gr 4831 SC @ 2950 fps 5" groups at 500 yards 168 berger vld with 69.2 gr 4831 SC (haven't chronoed yet) 3" groups at 500 yards I am happy with the accuracy just not sure which to use for bull elk to 500 yards. Do I need to go up to the 185 vlds or will the 168s do the job no problem? I have yet to shoot anything with a Barnes bullet but have had great success with berger bullets, including two elk with with 140 vld in my 6.5 creedmoor this year, mine at 150 yards and my wife shot hers at 300 Thank you for any input and advise [/QUOTE]
